good analysis. in India even the reputed Restaurants do such practices. from one angle government looting people like anything and other angle the Restaurants. as it is the tax on alcohol is above 30% above that very bad quality. they bottle the mixture even without properly blending or keeping the mixture for the minimum required time. they go on giving licences exponential every year and get revenue no quality check, departments bribe low quality increased outlets. all would have better even if they maintain quality. many families are getting ruined. your post enlightened that all over the world this types of practices are there. but the magnitude in India is quality of the drink. thanks for the post....
